Funny how it's only white people saying these racist jokes are nbd, and when a POC makes a statement to say otherwise they get attacked.
It's 100% on brand.

Yup, I'm the Dad with the white kids that lives in Montgomery Village and sends my kids to GHS.
You can call me racist because I laughed a little under my breath when I heard the "dog for dinner" joke, but you'd be wrong.
What jokes have you heard your white kid make about his black friends?
Oh the top of my head, we were driving the boys somewhere and cop came up with the lights flashing and my kid said "Nate, what did you do? why they after you?"
and of course he'll called my son a racist POS and everyone laughed.
I will acknowledge that this all sounds horrible, typing it out on DCUM. But in the moment, when you see these kids that truly care about each other, you really do realize that this is how they are showing affection, making fun of the stereotypes, and taking the power back as a group.
And remember, 14/15/16 year olds are supposed to push boundaries. And it really feels like they are doing that in a safe way with each other

In the example of the "dog" as food to the Asian kid, the comment was made by an AA friend. Do you think the non white people are going to school each other on racism now? Really?
The Blair parent says that everyone makes fun of everyone, so that means the white kid also makes black and Asian jokes. So why does it matter that the specific example was black kid making dog-eating joke? What kind of joke does the white kid make about his black friend at Blair?
I'd like to see the Asian kids educate the Black kids about racism.
How is that responsive? If these kids are really so post-racial, then it shouldn't matter who is making the jokes. Both white kids and black kids get to make dog-eating and illegal immigrant jokes, and both white kids and Asian kids get to make black jokes (not sure what jokes they make because PP hasn't posted any specifics). Right? Or is that not how it works? I really want to hear what black jokes the white kids are making at Montgomery Village and Blair. Otherwise I call BS on this post-racial fantasy.
